1. I have 20 gig of free disk space.
2. The error message changes each time I try to start the program. It has said 10M, 20M, and 13M of my free disk space.
3. The program ran fine until I stopped, put in a different CD to do something else and then came back to Thief and put in the Thief CD.

Any help?

For now, and without going into why this happens, just purge your hard drive of the garbage files sitting on it.

- Empty your browser's temporary file cache.
- Empty out your temporary directories, like %profile%\temp, c:\[windows|winnt]\temp, or any download or other holding directories of files you no longer need.
- Delete msdownload.tmp (or something named similar) which is a temp holding directory for some of the Windows Updates downloads. It might also be call WUTemp.
- Delete any directories with .tmp in their name. These are usually temporary location during an install.
- Purge the Recycle Bin.

This often creates enough free disk space for Thief to run in. Thief is an old game when 2 GB hard drives were just coming out. It effectively performs 2 GB modulo arithmetic in figuring out how much free disk space there is. When your used disk space gets close to a 2 GB modulo (2 GB, 4 GB, 6 GB, 80 GB, etc.), the remainder between the 2 GB modulo and used space may be less than what Thief thinks it needs to have to run.
